Falcon Retail Spreading Cheer at First Transition Place During the Season of Giving

Bolton, ON, December 10, 2018 – Falcon Retail is proud to announce that this holiday season it will be giving the gift of giving. Falcon Retail has made a generous donation of food and products to First Transition Place to spread cheer to those facing and/or recovering from adversity.

Family Transition Place (FTP) is a registered not for profit agency mandated by the government of Ontario to provide emergency shelter and counselling for abused women and their children. They have been serving the Caledon areafor over 25 years. According to statistics published by the government of Ontario, it is estimated that one in three Canadian women will experience sexual assault in her adult life. What is more discerning is that fewer than 10 per cent of sexual assaults are reported to police.

“It is really sad to hear the shocking statistics, and more so to know that often times there are children involved,” says Barry MacDonald, President of Falcon Retail. “Therefore, in appreciation of a successful year and in gratitude to those who have help us get there, we thought what better way to say thank you and pay it forward than by making a donation on behalf of our clients, partners and vendors to FTP.”

Since 1984, FTP has been providing critical services to women and their children who have experienced abuse and unhealthy relationships. Inside FTP’s doors, women find a warm and welcoming place where their safety and well-being is the most important thing in the world. Whether they need a safe place to live, or the services of a professional, skilled counsellor to assist them on their journey, FTP is there to help. Over the years, FTP has become known, not only for these core critical services, but for also being a leader in the field of healthy relationship education. The Transitions Training division of FTP offers corporate training for organizations on domestic violence and its impact on the workplace, and the extremely popular Youth Education programs in the schools are helping to build healthy communities, one classroom at a time.

“They say that 67% of Canadians know a woman that has experienced physical or sexual abuse. I can honestly say that I as well as others on the Falcon team can concede to this in some form. That’s what encouraged us to choose FTP as the organization for giving this holiday season,” said Barry. “The holidays should be about ordinary people being extraordinary by giving their time or help to those in need. These acts of kindness and generosity go a long way and make us all feel warm and fuzzy inside. In this instance, it shows the women and children that use FTP that they are not alone.”

Everyone has the right to feel safe and be safe in their community, their workplace, and their home.
